Border security funding was increased
from $111 million last biennium to $152 million this
biennium. This session, border funding went directly to
DPS whereas last session it came to the governorís office
and was then sent to DPS (this session basically just cut
OOG out as the middle man, if you will). The governorís
office did directly receive money for border prosecution
(Hinojosaís office has some good information about the
importance of those funds if you are looking for more
detail on that).
